Volunteer in search of children swallowed by Storm: This part of the river has a whirlpool - deep and dangerous

In the Bulgarian village of Pashuk, four people drowned while picnicking by the Struma River. The victims included a grandmother, grandfather, and their two grandchildren, aged 8 and 11. Two volunteers from Kustendil, Malin Popov and Luboslav Kovachki, along with firefighter Stoyan Stoynov, played a crucial role in locating the children’s bodies after they were swept away by strong currents. Despite warnings about dangerous waters and a recent ban on swimming, the family had gone for a picnic, with one child entering the water. The incident sparked a three-day mourning period in Dupnitsa, where the mayor declared a state of grief. The volunteers, both certified divers, coordinated with local authorities to conduct search operations, ultimately recovering the children’s remains.
